Simon is a Humanist celebrant specialising in funerals. He has assisted families across a very wide range of circumstances, from the expected death at the end of a full life, to the most tragic of events. Yet, there is often humour to be found in the lives that he celebrates.
A newspaper article, read in a lunch break at his desk in the City changed the rest of his working life — indeed it changed his whole life.
In this book Simon sets out his part in the changes that have taken place in British funerals across 34 years, and describes the traditions that still hold fast. The many questions that people ask are answered honestly, and illustrated with stories and photographs.
Finally, he looks at the changes happening now, and the future of funerals in Britain.
